Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Mite Aquaporin DerfAQP1 from the Dust Mite Dermatophagoides farinae (Acariformes: Pyroglyphidae)

Figure 3

Radius of the DerfAQP1 channels. The top image shows the 3D structure in the cartoon model. The colors represent residue types, and the water molecules are shown in the ball models. Hydrogen atoms are shown in white, while oxygen atoms are shown in red. The channel is shown in green. The selectivity filter (SF) structure, which is the narrowest area in the channel, is shown in red. The bottom image shows the radii comparison among DerfAQP1, bAQP1, hAQP4, and PfAQP, where the SF and NPA regions are marked. Image was drawn in VMD [28] and Hole 2.0 [29].
